Around the village

Where Greentree sits in Burnaby, and the civic links worth keeping.

The neighbourhood

Greentree Village sits between Canada Way, Willingdon, Deer Lake Parkway, and the Forest Lawn / Royal Oak edge. Deer Lake Park, Burnaby Lake, BCIT, and Metrotown are the usual reference points in listings.

School catchments move. Check Burnaby School District maps before you assume Moscrop, Burnaby Central, or a particular elementary. Do not rely on a listing’s marketing line.

Resident channels

Facebook: Greentree Village Residents — a verified, residents-only group. Best informal channel for contractors, outages, and “is this a strata thing or a city thing?”

Province of BC: strata bylaws and rules; repairs and maintenance. These explain the legal frame. Your registered bylaws still win day to day.

City of Burnaby bylaw search: bylaws.burnaby.ca.

The public half of this atlas is also an API, in the same spirit as the city’s open data. Start at /api/v1. It serves the map clusters, the public pins, this guide, and the city building outlines. It is read-only, limited to 90 requests a minute, and it does not include the library, notes, or playdates.
